Related Problem/Issue
Is this Feature Request related to an existing GitHub Issue or Bug Report?
No. The issue this feature would solve is readability of the program output when run in docker mode.

Ideal Solution
An environment variable called "SIMPLE_OUTPUT" that will disable all fancy output presentation and instead produce a more verbose output that is sent row-by-row.

Considered Alternatives
We could potentially implement the logging python library or other similar tools to produce a separate log file, instead of relying on console output.

Additional context
While it is very nice to have fancy console outputs that are not constantly streaming data that fills up the console, sometimes it is more desirable to have a simple output that can be logged line-by-line.

My docker container logs look like this most of the time:

Take a look at the efficient-api branch, which recently got feature #64 with v0.10.10. Give the STANDARD_INTERFACE config a shot and let me know if it somewhat meets your needs.
